Getting caught in a power outage without being prepared is no fun. Preparing for storms in your Atlanta home is important in order to ensure the safety of you and your family, which means that you should be sure to have the following essentials in an easily accessible spot in the case of a power outage:

Radio – An all-weather radio will be operable by battery, solar power and even a hand crank, so you’ll be able to listen in on the current weather conditions no matter what.
- Waterproof Lantern – A waterproof lantern will provide much more light than most flashlights.
- Cell Phone Charger – If your outlets are no longer providing power, then your phone is going to run out of battery. Since power outages can last for days, cell phone chargers are ideal to have.
- Auto Night-light – These helpful little plug-in lamps are perfect to have around the house when the power goes out since they turn on automatically when this occurs, allowing you to see where you are going throughout your home.
